Hi @Peter4572 !

To do this you need to :

  • Create a button field type :

button 0.JPG

Here is a screenshot of the description of the button field type in Airtable Support :

button.JPG

 

  • Change the label to Click Here add the following formula to concatenate the www and the name in the Domain Name of the website :
"www." &{Domain Name}

This should look like this :

button 2.JPG

You now have the hyperlinked field that direct you to the website!🙂

button 3.JPG

 

This is an interesting resource if you need to dig more into what you can do with this field type :

I hope that I could help you get what you want with your table @Peter4572 ! 👍

Given the text in the screen shot, I think that the formula should be a little different. 

"https://" & {Domain Name}

 

Note that if you want a text based link instead of a button, you can use a rich-text field. If you don't want to manually type in the text link in a rich-text field, you could use a formula field that creates the markdown link, and then an automation that copies the formula result to the rich text field. (The proper trigger for the automation might be a bit tricky since you need to be sure that data entry is complete and that the trigger occurs after the automation is turned on.)

"[Click here](https://" & {Domain Name} & ")"

With this great info I was able to create a button on my table that links to the proper URL - however, the button is not clickable when added to an extension page designer. Any tips for getting a clickable button added to the page designer so that it can be clicked once downloaded as a PDF? Thanks!
